GRFA Supports Adoption of National Policies to Reduce Emissions
(Global Renewable Fuels Alliance/Ethanol Producer Magazine) Bliss Baker, president of the Global Renewable Fuels Alliance, recently sent letters to the national leaders of 24 countries that highlighted biofuels as part of their Intended Nationally Determined Contribution plans at the recent Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21).
“These governments deserve support as they look to reduce their national green house gas (GHG) emissions by taking advantage of biofuel technologies that are demonstrated to be affordable, effective and immediately available,” Baker said.
As detailed in a 2015 report by (S&T)2 Consultants Inc., the internationally renowned energy and environmental consulting firm, year after year the reduction in global GHG emissions from global ethanol production and use is increasing. The report also outlined how emission savings from biofuel production and use could increase from 168.9 million metric tons per year in 2014 to 264 million metric tons CO2 equivalent in 2030, based on a conservative annual growth rate of 2.8 percent.
